[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 198741"] I dunno aye... Maybe the research shows otherwise, but I just don't see a solitary american S14 team doing anything but providing novelty value in the already overcrowded US sports market and adding to travel time to a competition in which players site "excessive travel time" as one of the reasons for jumping to the European competitions (after money of course). Furthermore, no one has ever successfully built a support base from the top down, and especially not in a market as aggressive as the US's and as such I'd wager that any US team (or Japanese for that matter) is destined to fail. What they should really be doing is trying to consolidate their own national competition (same with Japan - enough with this company team bullshit, they need to start representing regions if they want people to get behind them).
